A flaring tool will make special ends on copper pipe - a swaging tool will expand the ends to receive tubing of a similar diameter.
Is this what you mean?

The tool that I would like the name of, goes inside of the copper pipe and when opened and turned 360 degrees, a ball bearing will form a compression ring in the pipe.

That's it
So a swaging tool will create a compression ring for non-manipulative joints.
A pipe expander for soldered connections.
A bullet is used for swaged compression.
So swaging tool not for swaged compression connection
